SUMMARY:

With an integrated approach to the concepts of Geographical Indication, Tourism and Territory, this research seeks to investigate how Tourism, when associated with the Geographical Indication of Palm Oil, can contribute to the territorial development of Taperoá-BA. The study highlights a comprehensive analysis of the relevance of Geographical Indication (GI) in the context of tourism and territorial development, focusing specifically on the municipality of Taperoá-BA. The relationship between the Palm Oil GI and local tourist attractions emerges as a significant potential driver of territorial development. The emphasis on differentiating products and places through GI is skillfully articulated as an essential strategy for competing in the globalized marketplace. The GI, understood as an instrument for protecting, promoting local culture, and valuing products, contributes to building identity and increasing the added value of local products. The interconnection between Tourism, Industrial Property and Territory is explored in depth, highlighting the complexity of the tourist phenomenon. The methodology adopted, based on the General Systems Theory, proposed by Bertalanffy, highlights the transformative potential of tourism as a driver of local development. The research incorporates statistical data from Municipal Agricultural Production, supporting the prominent position of Taperoá-BA in oil palm production. Furthermore, the research findings describe in detail the integration of the proposed tourist routes, highlighting their relationship with local culture, specific attractions, and community participation. The research also addresses sustainability and environmental considerations, exploring how the implementation of tourism can be conducted responsibly. Observations on local community involvement in tourism development are highlighted, highlighting participatory initiatives and strategies to ensure local benefits. The insertion of Taperoá as a municipality with great tourist potential, especially in the Costa do Dendê Tourist Zone, provides context and support for the relevance of the study of this location. Analyzing oil palm culture as an integral part of local identity, both in gastronomy and religious practices, adds significant layers to the understanding of cultural heritage and tourism potential. In view of the above, the research offers a comprehensive and grounded view of the relationship between the Palm Oil GI, tourism, and territorial development in Taperoá-BA, clearly outlining the complexity of these interactions and pointing to future directions of research and sustainable development.
